CAESAR SALAD

This is my favourite summer salad and it is so easily turned into a main meal. Ingredients.....shaved Parmesan cheese, 2 cos lettuce hearts, 4 poached eggs, 2 rashers of thinly sliced lean bacon, 4 slices of bread cut into cubes, 4 anchovie fillets. Ingredients for the salad dressing......1 cup of of whole egg mayonnaise, 2 tbs of minced garlic, 1 tsp of wholegrain mustard, 1 tsp of Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp of lemon juice, cracked black pepper. Fry the bacon slices in a little canola oil. Remove the bacon from the pan and add the cubes of bread and fry in the bacon fat, tossing until crispy. Now mix all the dressing ingredients in a small bowl and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, toss lettce, bacon,crispy bread and anchovies with the combined dressing. Divide between 4 serving bowls. Garnish with shaved Parmesan and a soft poached egg. If you decide to serve the Caesar salad as a main dish top the salad with cooked chicken torn from a roasted chicken or chicken pieces that have been grilled or steamed. This is very good , either way you choose to serve.
